			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala CD mursaleen
Sayidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam testament kathira This is mamzer Shakira, and
I'm here to continue discussing the Hadith that we have mentioned previously, the Hadith related by
besides Audrey, Malmo was sitting in the masjid outside of the prayer time the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam noticed that and he acquired and I will never mention is because of worries and that that is
just attached to me Listen to me.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:22
			at home mom, Lizzie metheny, what do you your solar laws so that * worries that are just
claiming to me and the prophets Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, shall I not teach you some
words? Or you to say them a law with those words would drive away from you? Your grief, your
worries, and he would dispense of your debt. And I will mama as we mentioned, he perked up and he
said certainly all messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said
if you were to say at the time that you rise up in the morning in the time that you recline in the
evening,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:37
			Allah in the old will become in a Hemi will hazard or lie or seek roughly refuge with you from the
Hemi one husband what is happening how many brothers and sisters is
		
00:01:39 --> 00:02:06
			a worry him or her moon plural worries that way one down and that overwhelm one. And not just a
worries about petty and significant things, but worry that is weighty, one of the meanings of
hammer. So the Arabs for example, they say, hammer chef, hammer chef, that the hem
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			melted
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:42
			the fat, Addabbo, so the fat was literally melted. So heat that's so intense that it can melt fat.
So we say hammer hammer Shama Addabbo, yarn, it causes it to melt. So it became liquid and literally
float. That's the kind of worry that we're talking about. So this is something we seek refuge with
Allah subhanho wa Taala. From why because when worries become so overwhelming,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:38
			they can literally consume us just as that fat was melted, and they can melt us and render us. So
when we when something melt, melts, what does it have what happens it loses its form. So the ice
cube is cubicle, and melts, the cube is gone. So when grief overwhelms a person, we can literally
lose touch with ourselves who we are, can be lost. So we can see a person their personality shining
through one day, then they're overwhelmed by worries. And we see them a short while later, maybe a
week later. They're not the same person, and we immediately know what's going on. What's wrong. It's
not the same person. They've been melted by their worries and their concerns. And the greater danger
		
00:03:38 --> 00:04:03
			is that we can forget about Allah subhanho wa Taala because a person who is so overwhelmed by
worries, has failed to do something. We're instructed by our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to
gather all of our worries, all of our concerns are who moved into a single concern and make that
single concern. Allah subhanho wa Taala and that
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:38
			is really what Ramadan is all about. Considering Ramadan, the things that normally worry you. There

we're too busy praying the tarawih we're preoccupied from our worries and concerns. Why? Because we

Ramadan Paddy Lu l fat has built in females.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:26
			One saying Subhana Allah Glorified is a law one time in Ramadan is equivalent to saying it 1000
times outside of Ramadan. We're too busy remembering Allah.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:06:21
			That you will lie he feel Ramadan mock forumla our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I mentioned
the one who remembers a lot in Ramadan will be forgiven. So if we're really taking advantage of
Ramadan and benefiting from the lessons of Ramadan, we don't have time for our concerns and our
worries. So we seek refuge with Allah we seek shelter. As we mentioned in an earlier episode, we
seek shelter we seek protection we hold fast to a law we fortify ourselves with a law in this case,
not from a shaytaan VEDA curato Cora en este es Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim. In this case,

			festa is seek refuge, seek protection. Hold on to a law fortify yourself here It's a present tense
verb Allahumma in the Oval beaker, or LA I am seeking refuge with You. What is the difference? The
present tense verb work the past tense earth to build
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:26
			is caught off is done a done deal. I have sought refuge with the law in the past. El madora the
present tense verb you feed SM Ra. It conveys the meaning of continuity. I am continuously seeking
protection with a law I am continuously holding on to a law. I am continuously fortifying myself
with Allah subhanho wa Taala. From my worries, Menachem me Will hasn't what is the husband, the
husband is related to the hand the two are related
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

00:07:30 --> 00:07:35
			is the worry that we have from the concern
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

			minsan, Latin rock that we might slip, or from anything in the world that might prove to be
unsettling to us. the grief of those concerns is what the hem is. So when we say our the Billahi
min. And hemby will hazard I seek refuge with a law from worries and from those things that produce
worries. So I'm touching covering both bases, from the worries and from those things that produce
worries and even if those things so hopefully Allah subhanho wa Taala will ward off from us and
protect us from those things which produce worthies worries.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:09:40
			If those things occur, then Mel law protect us from them translating into worries, covering both
bases. So this is what it means we say along in the ODP mental health we will hazard from worries
and from those things that produce worries, may Allah protect us from both and may that refuge as we
mentioned what is the refuge that provides the protection and the blessing month of Ramadan is the
